Lord God, we pray this morning for the gift

of perseverance. Help us to be patient when

things are not going right and help us to

accept the things we cannot change. 

Open our minds and eyes to see that

perseverance is rooted in hope.

Dispel any discouragement we may

have and replace it with deep faith.

We pray for our families and loved ones.

Please keep them healthy and safe.

Amen
